Loved when you said "the more i feel like failing the more bold i get" because for me thats often the time and (stupid) mindset, that makes my paintings look better! :D

"looks better upside down" *me* "well my art looks better if I turn the paper to the other side"

This one is so freaking beautiful! I love when you do mixed media. It makes me wanna try and dip my toes into mixed media art too! This is just jaw dropping!

I have a hard time imagining people binging my videos (they don't seem binge-able lol) but apparently some do! 😘

Yes, very!! Your process is really interesting to watch. I’ve picked out techniques from watching you work. And the way you push through with illustrations that you don’t find going your way is quite nice too. (Especially bc I get moments like those a lot too aaaaa. Inspires me to push through whenever I get discouraged in the process.) And so, it is very satisfying when you say you end up liking the piece in the end. I look forward to seeing more of your artworks and videos. 🥰

We do

Hey, I would love that you show every piece or sketch you do on Instagram, because it encourages us so much seen you do mistakes, failure, it make us feel like we are no alone like artist ❤❤❤❤❤ and also you can done voice over when you don't talk , saludos desde Argentina

"Let's just bring this to a finish"...checks...18 mins left to the video. I also really like this piece. Reminds me of a mermaid with hair swirling around. Also I wonder if it's just a matter of letting the watercolor be bold and colorful and imprecise and magical and letting the colored pencil be controlled. You can always salvage the drawing in the colored pencil. So what would it be like to give in fully to the impressionism of the watercolor?

She said Let's bring this to an end no matter what.

I like that you took a step back to reevaluate the piece! It can really change how you look at things and really see the potential in something that your close to giving up on. I think this turned out really charming and soft~

I definitely need to do it more often; I find that having the camera on puts me in tunnel-vision mode which isn't good. Need to take more breaks away from the desk, since it's not like I can't edit those out!

That you for sharing your thoughts, because we all feel that way. I think it looks nice. I started drawing again two years ago when I lost my son. Drawing helped me deal with my pain. So all the little comments help me. Love your voice.

I love your style. You have encouraged me to try different techniques

I've been using Polychromos with watercolor for years now, and I absolutely love them. What I love most about them is they won't get that weird waxy haze like prismacolors do, and they are way more blendable.

seeing this video pop up in my subscription box gave me a burst of sudden happiness

Love the clip of the guy trying to drink from the glass and his hand shaking so hard (at about 31:40 minute mark). It's how I feel when my piece of art is not turning out right. lol. Nice work Chris.

The music 😂😂

I had so much fun with that 😂

Prismacolors or Holbein pinks are so vivid and bold 🩷

thank you for posting so many longer videos! it's really enjoyable to watch these with a cup of tea or sketching with you

I love u and even more your art Chris❤

This was actually quite inspiring for me to start mixed media portraits. I have both mediums and can use both separately. I bought them to use together and have not been brave enough to start. I keep sticking with what I know. This has encouraged me to start. Thank you for sharing. This piece turned out quite beautifully!

Your choice of background music is a riot! I Loved it!

Don't you think that the picture looks like she is daydreaming and the pink splatter emerging from the green is like flowers growing through the grass of a meadow...... (maybe) Love it

She looks like a fairy! She’s so beautiful! 🩵

i know it’s different to hear this than to believe it yourself but your artwork is so beautiful. the video is not even over but what youre doing is always inspiring. hearing you talk though struggles is important. it’s easier to enjoy work when it’s not yours because we don’t see what you were among for, but regardless, i love whatever you do.

Beautiful❣️ (If you grate some coloured pencil on sandpaper or a sanding block, you can use the powder as paint by dipping into it with a brush dipped in odorless mineral spirits and mimic watercolour that way, too.)

I love the colors and effects in the painting makes a sort of a dreamy effect.

I feel like you would really dig the 'Gibson Girl' hairstyles and period illustrations :)

Why, Oh Why are your least favorite paintings MY absolute favorite. I love this.

I thought this painting was perfectly finished like 72 different times idk how it managed to get even better, just the painting in the first 10 minutes is better than anything I could ever do !!!!

I feel spoiled watching your process, it also helped me realize that my feeling during my art process aren’t so unique I just gotta start pushing through the awkward part. This was a beautiful piece to watch come together 🥰

It is interesting to hear you overcome that perfectionist mind set and really alter expectations as you allow yourself to become an objective observer for your own work. Really cool.

How do you think of adding all those COLORS like green and blue on the skin and end up looking so freaking good it's beyond me

Honestly I absolutely adore this. It’s an finished but abstract piece that has such a soft pastel look to it with gorgeous watercolor textures. It maybe different from your usual works but that’s not a bad thing!

i love your drawings, your channel and you are super nice please post more videos

I really enjoyed watching the process even the struggle and your determination to get something you liked instead of giving up. What emerged from the paper was amazing!

I'm in love with this piece . If I saw it in a gallery - I'd buy it instantly.

Your videos give me serotonin

Please post any video you make. We love seeing your "failures" as much as your successes! It's all valuable!

this is so pretty! and your process is just really fun to watch. I love seeing how you go from the loose watercolors to all the details!

I absolutely love your art! Its always so BEAUTIFUL!

Your coloring process is mesmerizing!! I love how you color with the Faber Castell Polychromos! Amazing video, and great color selection! You're one of the best artists to sketch along with!!

1.) I love this piece!! 2.) I appreciate you putting a video up like this because I go through the same process and it’s refreshing to see someone so good at art do the same

just amazing, look so delicate!

i love your creative painting process, it is very intuitive and you just go with the flow! inspiring!

Your art always makes me want to play with color and have fun!

I absolutely love your approach to your pieces and the creativity that you have. You just do it! And in the end it’s a extraordinary and beautifully unique piece of art. Love watching your videos. Thanks for being vulnerable and sharing this with us even though you weren’t quite sure of yourself throughout the whole process.

You thinking out lous is encouraging, to know that what I feel when do art is a normal part of the process, and I can't even explainhow out of this world this is❤️

your artworks and artstyle are so inpirering. your videos are so calming and helpfull to watch. i just fell in love with your style and the person you are

you really did an awesome job pulling it all together! loved watching you create💖💚💖

Love how you colored with the pencils. Looks so pastel like

So fun to see you go outside your comfort zone, and end up happy with the results! :D That’s a good feeling.

Absolutely loving Watercolour and Colour Pencil Combo!! And those eyes look lovely!!

I remember when I started watching you and I must sat that you improved so much! I really like how experimental you have become. Beautiful piece :)

Thank you so much for this!!! I loved seeing the process from start to finish. Marvelous 🙌🏼

I love it! The colors are so soft and lovely

I really love your use of colours!

I love when you use color pencils!!!!!! Your portraits are so awesome!!!! Keep the work!!!!

Really happy to watch this!!!! I have been using polychromos pencils and have recently dabbled with watercolors hoping to mix the two together. Enjoyed hearing your thoughts since I can really relate lately to those vulnerable feelings.☺️

Just stumbled upon your channel wanting to see something on water color and color pencil. Loved your work!

Really really loved this video. All your creative process is quite interesting and very fun to watch. It turned out amazing and gorgeous AF!

I enjoy ur color pencil art. It’s fun to watch the progress.

This is fantastic!!!!!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 Thank you for showing us how the magic happens!!!!

It is gorgeous!

Oh Chris, your amazing, I LOVE YOUR stuff! Stop criticizing yourself, your art is so pleasing to look at and it makes me happy just to look at!

That is the cutest picture ever!! Loved it from beginning to end. 😊

I love how you're comforting yourself during the process :D I do this to myself all the time, usually already after my first sketch, I go directly to: "this is not what I've expected, but hey, hey, that doesn't necessarily mean that it's bad! It's.... it's just different, it's...intereting" :D except that my best art isn't even halfway that good as this! Love it!

Oh Chris! I looove your art because it is the dreamieast-creamiest of all! I'm always amazed how you play with the colors and how you execute your paintings. It's such a joy to watch and listen to you ^^ This one even looks stunning upside down but I have no idea why ( :

"Hmmm, should I leave it alone?" Maybe, but you're not gonna 😂

that looks really nice,mixing water color and pencils together.

Beautiful work!

How lively !!! I'm feeling it'll start talking!! I love your art so much much!

I actually love this!!!!

yes, showing the drawing part is very great

I think this is a very lovely piece! !!! Your style is so refreshing!!! I would love to see your process of drawing these faces in real time!! They are beautiful!!!

Thankyou for posting this, thoroughly entertaining and enlightening video.

Beautiful work!! amazing!

Ahhh u inspire me so muchh for every each video!! Its goldennn 🙌🙌❤️

I like your style specially the eyes of the character, it really says a lot. Beautiful expression❣️✨

I love your way with color. I love the idea of using a "rainbow" of color like this--it is so me and I just love staring at your work. :-D

I love your style!

Beautiful!

Colors are beautiful.

I love it, its beautiful... rainbow child. Very fitting x

Love it !

I love your work Chris :) beautiful ;)

the piece is SO BEAUTIFUL~ ✨ but how the heck does she know where to put the colors?? like OMG she a color theory QUEEN~👑

I just found your channel. And I am so grateful I did!! You're so amazing!! 💜💜

Maravilloso 😍

I think it is wonderful!

Love this

I'd love to "struggle" like that too ! Geeeeezzz you're talented

I really love your Art style and of course, your Art. 💚 I'm so facinated by your colors and such.

Amazing as always! Really want to try some color pencils.

Your character looks like she's underwater (swept up hair). I like how the Polychromos work along side the watercolors.

I love the end result but the unretouched one looks more magical to me 💚

I always love the way you draw ears (:

Seeing all the steps is very important for those wanting to know exactly how you get there.

I'd like it keep going you're on. point.

Very nice result , i like very much , thank you @Chris Hong Art

you can have the best tools to do the job, but you've got to also have some serious skills to come up with something as good as this. well done!

Gorgeous 🥰
